Opinion: 'Rise Above the Fear: Vote Row B, For A Better Brookfield'

To The Editor:

As a member of the Millennial Generation, I’m proud to be an active part of Brookfield’s Republican Town Committee. I serve on the BRTC with other young professionals including State Representative/School Board Member Steve Harding, Police Commissioner Ryan Murphy, and Planning Commissioner Geoff Hunton.

Our Row B TEAM reflects our generation’s dynamic spirit and enthusiasm for the great town and community we call home.

First Selectman Bill Tinsley leads a diverse ticket reflecting the best of what Brookfield has to offer; Just like we accomplished in 2013, our candidates’ community service and civic experience epitomizes the concept of T.E.A.M. - Together Everyone Achieves More.

Three of Row B’s candidates graduated from Brookfield Public Schools, and six of our candidates have sent their children through Brookfield schools. More than half of our slate contributes to the local tax base by working in, or operating small businesses in Brookfield or the area, myself included.

The Republican TEAM trusts the people of Brookfield. We’re committed to building a better community for all our neighbors by encouraging and providing opportunities for small businesses to grow, building on assets brought to the table by volunteers and businesses leaders, all while keeping Brookfield affordable for this and future generations.

Make no mistake; a victory for the Democratic ticket will do to Brookfield what Dan Malloy has done to Connecticut. Be prepared for superfluous spending, excessive taxation, and general malaise which lends itself only to making Brookfield into a place that people do not want to live, work, raise a family, or retire.

Please join me in supporting Brookfield’s SOLUTIONS TEAM on Tuesday, November 3rd.

Rise above the fear: Vote Row B, for A Better Brookfield.

Respectfully,

Mr. Matthew Moscatelli
